I must admit having sex out of pure boredom overlooking all of the importance of no birth control or a condom was in fact stupid, but who can blame you or make you feel ashamed for keeping the baby to term, in that case supposedly you’re classmates calling you the cautionary whale, but you hold the power of feeling proud of your decisions. One thing I do know is that every choice you make when you're pregnant is an important one, an impactful choice because of the potential life factor. Your life would have been much different if you had the abortion but it's not my place to tell you which life would of made you happier. So the choice of no birth control or no condom was indeed a stupid choice to but to keep the baby and to give this child a home worth having with a unconditionally loving mother was a noble choice. You not only had someone growing inside you but you as a person grew as well. Your parents are such great people Juno, they value you know matter what situation you're in. Your step mom was right by the way when she said “I think kids get bored and have sex”. To some people sex is something they want to wait for marriage for and other people chose to have sex just for fun, I respect both choices people have and understand every angle of how different people stress the importance of the act and what people want to do with there body, I guess you like to throw caution to the wind. Maybe one day you'll be the wait for marriage type maybe you'll be somewhere in between or just the same but what ever choice you make is you choice over your own body and its perfectly fine to be wherever you are on the spectrum and change your mind whenever you want just make sure to use protection next time!!!! Through this process you have realized the seriousness of a lot of relationship and how much your family values you through out every decision you make. That in itself holds so much importance. I can't say which choice was right maybe having the abortion was the easier route but you had made the choice of going through the process to make life as best it can for that baby. You were noble, going to school, going through the work of finding adoptive parents, going through the work of having a baby!!! And even though you seemed more ready then the husband of couple who were going to adopt your baby you still gave the child to the rightful deserving mother. Now she has the baby she's always wanted.You gave her a gift. Carrying this baby not only changed the baby's life but hers as well. That's real kind of you Juno. As of for now keep growing as the beautiful soul you are, live the junior year you never got, and continue to do what makes you happy, just next time use protection. ;)
